Kulan: Knightfall's Crisis in Bluffside Game [IC]

[JustinCase]

Tuck curses in what Regdar may or may not understand as the kobold’s racial tongue as they watch the other two assassins snap out of whatever enchantment previously bound them.

Almost too fast to observe with the untrained eye, Tuck rapidly produces bolts from his pack and in quick succession fires his crossbow at each of the assaillants in turn.

”Get ‘em!” he orders Mutt without stopping his own attacks.

OOC: Full action attack, which with the Rapid Reload and Rapid Shot ranger feats means I make three attacks, although at -2 (already included in rolls). Attack with +1 light crossbow and rapid shot: Attacking Teresa: 1D20+10 = [18]+10 = 28 1D6+1 = [2]+1 = 3 Attacking Shylock: 1D20+10 = [3]+10 = 13 1D6+1 = [1]+1 = 2 Attacking third assassin: 1D20+5 = [9]+5 = 14 1D6+1 = [1]+1 = 2

Tuck curses in what Relgar may or may not understand as the kobold’s racial tongue as they watch the other two assassins snap out of whatever enchantment previously bound them.

OOC: Full action attack, which with the Rapid Reload and Rapid Shot ranger feats means I make three attacks, although at -2 (already included in rolls). Attack with +1 light crossbow and rapid shot: Attacking Teresa: 1D20+10 = [18]+10 = 28 1D6+1 = [2]+1 = 3 Attacking Shylock: 1D20+10 = [3]+10 = 13 1D6+1 = [1]+1 = 2 Attacking third assassin: 1D20+5 = [9]+5 = 14 1D6+1 = [1]+1 = 2

The first bolt glances Teresa's shoulder just before she turns towards Akos with confusion in her eyes. The other two bolts fail to find the mark. At the same time, Mutt growls and rushes out of the tiny hut and throws himself at the third assassin. The big dog tries to bite the man but the assassin manages to barely avoid the teeth. His eyes are wide as he fends off the dog.

Akos watches as Teresa's eyes change from confusion to intense anger. She bares her teeth to the loremaster and then glances at her shoulder before yelling at Shylock. "Get the others! Kill them. Show no mercy!" She looks back at Akos with a wicked look on her face. "Now, you. I'm going to make you suffer for what you just did and it's going to hurt and not in a fun way, for you." She pulls a potion bottle from her belt and drinks it then she draws her blade as she takes a step towards Akos.

Shylock nods and stalks towards the tiny hut (drawing his blade), carefully, after avoiding the fired bolt. He enters the spell's radius and immediately looks at Tuck with his crossbow. He moves towards the urban ranger and slashes out with his short sword but Tuck easily avoids the blade.

OOC: Big Mutt: Bite > 1d20+6=15 (miss) Teresa: Drinks a potion and draws her blade during a 5-ft step. Shylock: Short Sword > 1d20+5=11 (miss)

 

[Knightfall]

Feeling hit by the hated iron, Akos frowns but continues to speak, the attack isn't hard enough to draw blood even by his enhanced sensitivity to iron weapons. considering the hit until he sees the smallest seep of blood staining his white robe.

I a moment he changes from diplomat to the insulted courtier with some power behind him. He pulls himself up and glares at all the assassins.

"You dare." he breathes "YOU DARE!" he shouts as his demeanor darkens, his face getting forbidding, ominous aspect, eyes darkening, the angles more pronounced and eyes flashing
"Curse of the Fey Court upon you all, you will ALL die, DIE for this! Bow and beg for mercy and you may yet live!"

Teresa's eyes turn once again. "By the gods, no, no!" She barely gets out the words. Once gain she is frozen but now by fear. The other assassin that Akos can see screams and cowers on the floor. Mutt sands guard over him, growling.

(In the tiny hut, Shylock begins shaking in fear and can barely stand; his eyes turn towards the loremaster. "W-what is happening?" Is all her say.)

OOC: Level Checks Assassin: 1d20+5=19 (failed) Teresa: 1d20+6=16 (failed) Shylock: 1d20+5=14 (or 16) (failed) Note that Shylock has moved into the tiny hut, so Akos cannot see him. Now, Shylock can see Akos and can hear him but the sound is a bit muffled. If Akos' needs to be able to see his foes, then Shylock won't be affected. If Shylock only needs to hear Akos, then he gets a +2 circumstance bonus to the roll (not that it matters).

Tim counterattacks with the Greatsword, as his opponent is snarling in frustration; Tim's stab is aimed at the Loyalist's center mass.

Tim snickers, "Ten more to replace you when you fall, eh? It's nice to know that your leader considers you so expendable."

Tim also tries to bash his opponent once more, but the big Half-Ogre overextends his reach because of a false step. If he managed to hit the man now, it would be a lucky shot indeed.

[Envisioner]

Having evidently overestimated the impregnability of his Abjuration, Relgar looks up with annoyance at his would-be assassin, and brings up his hands, held stiffly together at the risk, with his splayed fingers weaving the same sort of transdimensional energy that formed his diaphanous shelter, but much more concretely focused. A series of droning subvocalized equations calls the visualized construct into higher relief, and a blade-studded examplar of hypergeometry manifests into apparition between his palms. From its central core, whose shape resembles a Meta-Stellated Dodecamerkaba, three radial spikes extend out in the attacker's direction, reflective of almost two dozen more which unfold into the higher planes from which the shape's Platonic essence is drawn. If he continued to chant his numerical sequence and fold his digits through the increasingly uncomfortable tiled metrics, the shape in all its glory would eventually emerge into "meatspace", but the wizard has no need for such an idealized object at the moment. Instead, he wills the globe to shatter while nine-tenths of its substance remains theoretical, and the tiny fragment which he allowed to crystallize into solidity, the gossamer framework holding the three spires of the projectile together, flings itself forward along a projected vector with all the inevitability of a broken stalactite plunging to the cavern floor.

OOC: CoyoteCode Dice Roller Well that was lovely. I have no idea what to add, but it's probably not enough. I also am not sure how much damage I would deal if I hit, since I think I fudged the rules on this feat and I no longer recall how exactly.

 

[Scotley]

Breva grunts as the foe's sword slices into his shoulder. "You'll have to do better than that." He glances at the newest foe who attacked Custodio. "I see your friends are not more skilled than you." He brings his blade around, but the wound in his shoulder is more impairing than he expected and he fails to connect.

power attack 2 and damage: 1D20+11 = [2]+11 = 13
2D6+12 = [6, 4]+12 = 22

Throwdown Alley:

Breva grunts as the foe's sword slices into his shoulder. "You'll have to do better than that." He glances at the newest foe who attacked Custodio. "I see your friends are not more skilled than you." He brings his blade around, but the wound in his shoulder is more impairing than he expected and he fails to connect.

power attack 2 and damage: 1D20+11 = [2]+11 = 13
2D6+12 = [6, 4]+12 = 22

Indeed, his opponent manages to avoid Breva's blade using his own sword to parry the assault. The loyalist grins and counters but Breva manages to block it with his blade as well. The ringing of steel on steel echoes through the alley.

The backdoor of a nearby shop opens and a old man walks out with a look of annoyance on his face. He sees the fight and stands in shock. Custodio yells at him to get back inside and lock his door. The man rushes back inside his shop.

OOC: Loyalist: Long Sword > 1d20+8=11 (miss)

Tim counterattacks with the Greatsword, as his opponent is snarling in frustration; Tim's stab is aimed at the Loyalist's center mass.

Tim snickers, "Ten more to replace you when you fall, eh? It's nice to know that your leader considers you so expendable."

The loyalist misjudges his position and steps into Tim's blade, which nearly takes his head off. The man is bleeding profusely from his wounds and looks ready to drop. He manages to sidestep Tim's shield bash and tries to go for the knight's gut.

OOC: Loyalist: Longsword > 1d20+8=28 (hit and possible crit.), Confirm Roll > 1d20+8=11 (not a crit.), Damage > 1d8+2=3

Round 4
The third loyalist manages to to right himself and swing his blade around at Custodio but the avenger easily blocks it. with his bastard sword. The elite guardsman roundhouses his blade and nearly takes the man's head off! The blade cuts deep; blood sprays from the wound. The man chokes out a gasp and clutches at his chest. A moment of panic enters his eyes.

"Surrender," Custodio orders calmly. "I will cal for my fellow guards and you will receive a fair trial."

The man composes himself and stares down the avenger with renewed anger, in silence.

"So be it then. The Purifier will judge you."

OOC: Loyalist: Longsword > 1d20+8=11 (miss) Custodio: Bastard Sword > 1d20+11=31 (hit and possible crit.), Confirm Roll > 1d20+11=18 (Confirmed!), Damage > 2d10+8=18+2=20 (almost forgot bless)

The projectile would have missed the foe if not for the boisterous intimidation that the one called Akos spoke. The assassin, frozen in stark fear, cannot move to avoid the needle and it hits him directly in the face. The cowering man only whimpers in response. He doesn't even try to attack Tuck who is standing near him. Did Relgar forget the kobold was there? 'You didn't hit the kobold, so don't worry about it', Eclipso muses to him.

OOC: CoyoteCode Dice Roller Well that was lovely. I have no idea what to add, but it's probably not enough. I also am not sure how much damage I would deal if I hit, since I think I fudged the rules on this feat and I no longer recall how exactly.

OOC: As a ranged attack it would be 8 + you BAB + your Dexterity modifier, so it would be as follows: 8+3+2=13. It is a hit since the assassin, Shylock, is cowering because of Akos demoralizing Intimidate, so Relgar hits! I believe he does 1d4=4 damage to Shylock since you already cast tiny hut.

Tim re-aligns his footing, stepping in on his nervous foe. This time, he leads with Rizvan, seeking to use the Loyalist's exhaustion against him; Tim pulls the punch, hitting him in the thick, top-most part of his forehead, so as to render him unconscious.

Tim muses to himself,~I refuse to kill such a weakling; and besides, he is worth more to us alive. If the gallows is his fate, then so be it, but in the interests of justice being served, he will speak of what he knows before he hangs.~

OOC: Tim inflicts 14 pts. of Non-Lethal damage upon the Loyalist. If it is enough to render him unconscious, he will take a 1-square adjustment, placing himself within range of the most recent Loyalist who is attacking Custodio. If it isn't, he will attack this Loyalist with the flat of the blade (non-lethal damage) as well. If his Loyalist gets cold-cocked by Rizvan, his Greatsword attack on Custodio's foe will be for lethal damage.

 

[JustinCase]

Tuck ignores the spell effects that are obviously from Relgar, and the kobold keeps firing his crossbow at Shylock who is now so close.

Meanwhile Mutt keeps attacking the third assassin like Tuck ordered him to, tearing into the man's legs with his huge fangs.

OOC: From the description, I was unsure if Shylock is adjacent to Tuck or not. So I rolled a full attack (with rapid shot), but if he has to take a 5-foot step back first, I think only the first of those attacks matters. Or perhaps I'm misremembering the 5-foot step rule; a quick search of the SRD didn't show up what I wanted. Anyway, he only attacks Shylock. rapid shot: 1D20+10 = [6]+10 = 16 for 1D6+1 = [2]+1 = 3 damage 1D20+10 = [2]+10 = 12 for 1D6+1 = [1]+1 = 2 damage 1D20+5 = [20]+5 = 25 (possible crit!) for 1D6+1 = [1]+1 = 2 damage crit confirmation: 1D20+5 = [6]+5 = 11 (probably miss) for 1D6 = [4] = 4 additional damage Mutt attacks the third assassin. Mutt: 1D20+7 = [19]+7 = 26 for 1D6+5 = [2]+5 = 7 damage
